Tamin Lipsey had a historic four-year career at Iowa State, and the 22-year-old is now carefully working hard to prove himself as a prospect ahead of the 2026 NBA draft.
Lipsey was a second-team All-Big 12 selection last season, averaging 13.5 points, 5.1 ******* ists, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 steals. He was also recognized on the Big 12 All-Defensive team for the third time after ranking 11th in the country in steals (77) and 20th in defensive win shares (2.6).
The 6-foot-2 guard left as the leader in steals (313) and starts (137), while he is second in wins (98) and fourth in ******* ists (602). He was one of four Cyclones to average at least 13.5 points, five ******* ists, 3.5 rebounds and two steals, and the first since Tyrese Haliburton (2019-20).
"Just giving it my all," Lipsey said of the predraft process after working out with the Golden State Warriors on Monday. "Coming into every workout and competing as hard as I can. Trying to win every drill or help my team win in any way I can. It is about playing defense and taking care of the ball."
Lipsey was among the 64 prospects who competed in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament in April, an annual event for the top seniors in the country. He was also invited to the G League combine, averaging 3.5 points and 3.5 ******* ists in two scrimmage games.
